Toni - Set for Roma
Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni has set his sights on a return to Serie A with Roma this winter, although a deal has yet to be concluded. Toni is set to leave the German giants following a public falling out with coach Louis van Gaal.
The 32-year-old is now surplus to requirements at the Bundesliga club, who are even considering letting the World Cup winner leave on a free transfer. Although English sides including West Ham have been linked with the tall striker, Roma are at the front of the queue to sign him.
Toni favours a move back to Italy, where he can put himself back in the shop window for a place in Italy's World Cup squad next summer. "Nothing is certain yet but I want to move to AS Roma and I will do it," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
Despite his problems this season, Toni has an enviable goalscoring record. Last season he claimed 17 in 33 appearances whilst in 2007/2008, Toni scored 24 goals in 31 matches. He also has over 40 international caps to his name. With Roma currently fourth in Serie A, Toni could provide the boost needed to drive towards the top of the table.
